Pokémon Gold and Silver Version

Template:Main Game InfoboxPokémon Gold and Silver are some of the Generation IIPokémon game series, featuring brand new additions from the previous three games. These games take place in both the Johto region and the Kanto region. A year after their release, another game, Pokémon Crystal, was released with a few minor differences and features added to the game.

Team Rocket

Once again, Team Rocket are the featured villains in the games. With the disappearance of their leader Giovanni, Team Rocket restarts their goal of stealing Pokémon over the world, starting in Johto. The player will run into them several times throughout the course of the game, as they plot numerous plans and schemes.

Elite Four and Champion

Battery

With the Gold and Silver game cartridges, a battery was used to support the in-game clock. After around six years though, the battery would die and any saved game would be deleted. It can be replaced as e.g. described here.

Glitches

Toward the ending use of the Battery of the games the game might glitch up because in the PC's if you check up in your mailbox there will be unknown messages sent by nobody and there will be some kind of code in the messages and in the process you get money out of it. When the game freezes up it might get corrupted and you might have to start all over again. At times the screen might get messed up, the colour might be black and white or Neon.

This might be the causes of accidentally dropping it and therefore chipping off a piece of the cartridge off, just a bit it might get corrupted

If you cheated getting a Pokémon to lvl 100, after it had gotten all its exp points, it'll keep on levelling up to lvl 100. To reverse the glitch, you will have to turn the game off.

Trivia

These games are the only paired Pokémon games to feature different sprites for each Pokémon in each version.

Gold and Silver had infared connectivity to the Pokémon Pikachu and Pokémon Pikachu 2 in which the mystery gift feature could be used to gain items. This feature was ommited in the European release.
